Am I late for this coral blush when almost all of the beauty bloggers I know tried this blush years ago? Haha!

It's better late than never!

I've been using CORALista for a week now and I must say I just love the shade!

It's a perfect blend of pink and peach that gives you a natural looking healthy flush, yummy!

Check out how it looks on the white bristles

I personally use the Box o' Powder brushes because it fits my cheekbones perfectly and it distributes the product nice and evenly. Just make sure to sanitize your brushes!

Benefit CORALista swatch

Compared to other blushes I own, CORALista has the less shimmer in it so it's refreshing for me to use this. I always use blush with shimmer- some are loaded with shimmer, some are lightly sprinkled but CORALista has the less.

CORALista lasts on me for a good whole day given that I just conveniently stay inside the office the whole day but we still have to test how it fares when I go out for some extreme commuting in Metro Manila.

Most of the time, I prefer unscented products but like '10', CORALista has a light floral citrusy scent that I love so this is an exception to my pet peeve.

I hate to say this but I've been super wary of Benefit stuff ... could your Coralista be fake? It looks just slightly different from the picture at Sephora: http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P229206#

1. Zoom in and look at the font of "Coralista" - the original has slightly smaller text and thicker black borders.

2. The "explosion" shape - the original has the silver lining uneven and shaped differently... I think this is the most telling. I think the original's silver lining is also shiny.

3. The leopard print is smaller on the original and their alignments are different.

I don't want to be a bringer of bad news but ... I once bought a fake Benefit moonbeam so I am really *crazy* about making sure I pay good money for the right stuff. Thanks :)
